A pair of Authentic Sinew/Rawhide-Wrapped Tarahumara 19th century \"Olla\" clay water pots constructed with rough, earthen clay and tempered with sand. The Tarahumara Indian Tribe is native to the Sierra Madre Mountain region of the state of Chihuahua in northern Mexico. Tarahumara Indian pottery is classic primitive style pottery and is utilitarian in nature. Works of the Tarahumara can be found in most natural history museums around the world. Created by the \"pinch & coil method\", Tarahumara pots are made by hand without a wheel. Each pot is formed by hand coiling clay for the shape of the vessel then burnishing it with a smooth piece of wood or stone.
These Tarahumara vessels are estimated to date back to the late and a1950\'s and are in very good condition. There are no chips, cracks or repairs and the sinew/rawhide wrapping is in excellent condition. The pots are two different sizes. Pot #1 is the larger of the two pots and measures approximately 6 1/2\" inches height by 6\" inches width with the top opening 2\" inches diameter. Pot #2 measures approximately 4 1/2\" inches height and 5 1/2\" inches width with the top opening 2\" inches diameter.
